Just this year, Adidas signed on to outfit all 41 of Miami-Dade County High Schools’ athletics uniforms, cementing itself as the leading athletic apparel company in the community.


They did this for a reason

 

[hoops156]

I miss Nike but the good thing is there are like 14 companies out there that sell um licensed apparel now so you don’t have to buy the adidas crap

 

[Zombie-Cane]

Looks like I am getting back on Ebay and buying used Nike stuff. I hate the Adidas crap. Thank god for the other licensed apparel companies making Canes Gear!

This is true.

Yes.

But that's not the full picture.

It's the fact that adidas is sponsoring entire teams (and not just the high schools, I'm clearly talking about 7-on-7 too). Not just the "shirts on backs", but everything. The uniforms are a fraction of the total adidas spend in Dade County right now.

Much though I hate the outcome, I definitely admire the hustle.

You obviously were not around in 1995. These were iconic for a lot of people, myself included. Pretty sure I had a lime that faded to black. My only gripe is you have to tie them.

I’ve never been much of an AirMax fan…

 

[Calinative]

We’re reupping w adidas

Uh oh

 

[Garnacho]

I remember the air bubble Nike shoes. I was never wildly into sneakers. I'm talking about that specific shoe Original posted. You can't convince me that's a good looking shoe at all. Those air force ones somebody posted above, I get that. I like those.

I've always found that the orange and green colors are tough to pattern on a shoe and make it look good. It can be done but it's not easy.

Yeah, true I would agree with ya. Not really a fan orange and green sneakers. The newer soleflys are nice but the orange and green are a bit tuned down.

Dam how low can it go, might have to buy in at some point, they got to rebound right?

 

[The U is back to work]

I’m sure all the extras they gave schools have stopped with a stock price like this

You do realize that once you do the IPO and sell shares the first time, the "stock price" becomes an issue for the SHAREHOLDERS and not the corporation itself, right?

Meaning, whether Nike has money to give to schools is completely independent from the stock price. It would be based on, oh I don't know, something like REVENUE.

the stock market is not the economy. its more of a meme

Nike is a big lumbering directionless giant.

Those that downplay their stock price performance should understand the significance that it has.

It absolutely will affect every aspect of their operation. The management team will be focused on a strategy which they hope will result in the stock price to rebound. It will affect nearly every employee that’s mid-level management or above.

You will know that they’re on the right path when we start seeing major restructuring, layoffs, and general overall cost-cutting and strategic repositioning, including a possible shake up of top management.

It’s forward PE is still high compared to its competition and the market sector that it is in, so I don’t know if right now is the time to get in. But it will be at some point.

Timing is always hard, and without deep inside knowledge of the company and the market sector they operate in, is always very tricky.

As far as this underperformance and how this affects Miami/Nike, I just don’t think strategically they care one bit about Miami. They’ve got much bigger fish to fry.

1. It’s not a lumbering “directionless” Giant. Lol. On the earnings call, the restructuring of the entire organization, how long the restructuring would take, & the charted path that was going to happen was discussed in great detail.

2. Hence, this is y a lot of reorganization started to take place, this yr, with layoffs in two driving sectors of the business b/c many of these positions were created under the previous CEO, & the chain of command that was implemented by him under the DTC model was no longer viable.

3. The way you guys talk about stock is hilarious to me. How I know if someone is truly in the market or truly a shareholder is by simple statements. For example, if I’m a Bear, Nike has been a great investment for me b/c I’m hedging against their forecast. There’s not a single, credible Broker on planet Earth that evaluated Nike’s forecast over the last several quarters who would’ve advise to buy and hold. If any Broker-Dealer advised to get in the bed w them at $62/share, or $620 since it’s in bulk, congratulations, u got played for a commission.

If u took it upon urself to some a retail app which informs u projections based upon 3-month, 6-month, 12-month intervals, its yr over yr history, & u still got in bed w them, u’re a dummy.

Now, if u did options trading & used a Put-option at a certain $/per market trigger, then u’ve made a **** ton of $$. I’ve been a shareholder for some time, so I’ve not lost any money, just capital gains since 2021. However, I’ve seen the drought, & I’ve been through the splits 3 separate times. If social media was as popular 10 yrs ago as it is today, I guarantee the rhetoric would’ve been Nike is dead. 2014-2017 was a rough stretch, & everyone swore Adidas was king, especially when they surpassed Jordan Brand in sales.

4. All major money experts are in hold position & expect a monumental climb 2027. Why?
-Innovation team back up & running
-Inventory is approx. 65% on track to become balanced & aligned
-Seamless communication from staff to product managers to officers reducing failed deliverables
-Reinvesting in athletes & returning to its DNA
-Overall decline as a company, but continued growth across several athletic sectors namely Running and All Conditions
-Popularity is still highest among all competitors
-While overall revenue has declined, market cap & total revenue still eclipses Adidas, Hoka, UA, Reebok, NB, & Asics combined.
-Renewed effort to repair & rebuild relationship w/ slumped Asian markets
-Elliot Hill’s hands on leadership hasn’t been seen since Phil Knight, which has instilled confidence with global retail & wholesale partners.

Nike x Miami most likely won’t happen b/c of other factors, but it has nothing to do w their stock position today when their revenue still dwarfs its #1 competitor by 2-folds.

Do you take issue with anything else I posted other than the “directionless giant” which I admit is a bit of hyperbole, but when a stock, even a giant like Nike is underperforming their market sector/competitors, then one can at least say the direction to that point has not been one that maximizes shareholder wealth.

I don’t know if your “truly in the market“ was directed at me or not, but I can assure you I am truly in the market. I’m not one to boast about returns, so I won’t get into that, but I just don’t invest in your segment of the market. Because I really don’t have deep knowledge of the kind of market that Nike is in - it just doesn’t interest me that much. I’ve basically been in high tech for the last 20 years, and I’m no investing genius, because a monkey could throw darts and make a **** ton of money in tech if they just picked the top players (FAANG) over the last decades - which I have done.

My post was mainly about people trying to time a bottom for Nike. Since I don’t invest in that particular market, and as it has overall underperformed the broader market, it’s not really of much interest to me. Now, if I worked for Nike, then, of course it would be of much more interest to me, as well as concern about any accumulated stock options, which I imagine are underwater for many of Nike‘s employees that get options.

As far as a “monumental climb“ in 2027, we’ll just have to wait and see. Hope so for Nike employees.

1. No, the “truly in the market” comment was directed to someone else, as I peeped their comment which didn’t make sense.

2. No, I didn’t take umbrage w anything else u posted about the state of the brand, which is y I said no B/D w any credibility would ever advise to buy Nike now, b/c the forecast from their own CEO stated it would take 2-3 yrs to shift back in 2025.

Thanks for your response. There is no doubt that Nike is the market leader in its space but behemoths like Nike are hard to turn on a dime. If I knew more about the space, I might have more insightful views, but retail is not an area that I delve into very much. I personally don’t have any skin in the game, but I would wish the company well including its employees. After all, it’s an American company.
